Sermon Note
Pastor Prince
The Lord is coming back soon. Blessed hope. When He comes again, the dead in Christ will raise first. We who are alive, look to Christ. Our body will put on immortality in atomic second. This is our blessed hope!
We will not go through the worse 7 years.
Jesus will come again and we will receive.
Jesus Himself said when we see wars and rumours of wars, see that you are not troubled.
Matthew 24:3-8
Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”
And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Sorrows (birth pangs)
God did not send these things. The earth respond to men’s sin
Signs that the earth is rebelling. All creation is growling
We will get to see the bright and morning Star. The desire of all nations. We will see Him face to face.
Jesus’ presence is with us by the holy spirit.
Look to the sky, your redemption draws near.
God makes all things work together for His child’s good. Everything in your life is working for your good
You are meant to be at the right place at the right time
He looks far ahead.
Martha lived in the past and the future. Mary lived in the moment.
Now is the accepted time
Now is the day of salvation
When is the accepted time? Now.
New covenant revival breaks out every where.
Do not let the hearts be troubles.
Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
God does not want artificial Intelligent. He gives us free choice.
If man continues unfallen, there is no guarantee that their descendants won’t
We are now joint heir with Jesus Christ.
Beyond the milky way.
Heaven will come down on earth.
God gets glory.
God is perfect goodness.
Love cannot be seen in His beauty until it is among bitterness. Someone with love came out.
Grace in the midst of ugliness
The problem with the world today, is save the people. The people gets save, the world gets right
When we put the man right, the world gets right.
God uses the weak thing.
When i am weak than i am strong
My grace is made complete in your weakness
An earthen vessel in the hands of Gidon and all the enemies fled.
It is because we despise weak things
God uses weak things to confront the mighty
God restored everything Job lost. The Lord restored double.
God had to challenge us our self righteous
When we criticised someone, we judge ourselves whether are we like that or potentially like that. It keeps us humble.
I cannot. I need help through the Lord. I can’t but He can.
God uses the weak things of the world to confront the mighty
His ways are lowly. Stay low and the dew will fall on you.
During this time of Kairos moment, it is the word eth. This year He will do great things for us.
The world gets darker and darker and the church gets brighter and brighter.
Kairos moment
It is a time of restoration. Whatever you have lost, you have been scammed, maybe you subscribed to the thinking because of your stupidity you are scammed, know that Jesus came.
While you are hiding from God, He is there for you.
God helps those who are helpless.
God’s grace goes on and on
Isaiah 40:30
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
Isaiah 40:31
But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
Exchange strength. Strength for strength
Our strength got expiry date because is human. When we wait on the Lord, we are exchanging strength. Exchange our strength for His divine strength
Elisha had double portion
Sha – Yashua – my God saves
God the creator saves
My God is Yahweh
2 Kings 8:1-6
The King Restores the Shunammite’s Land
Then Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise and go, you and your household, and stay wherever you can; for the LORD has called for a famine, and furthermore, it will come upon the land for seven years.” So the woman arose and did according to the saying of the man of God, and she went with her household and dwelt in the land of the Philistines seven years.
It came to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines; and she went to make an appeal to the king for her house and for her land. Then the king talked with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Tell me, please, all the great things Elisha has done.” Now it happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored the dead to life, that there was the woman whose son he had restored to life, appealing to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life.” And when the king asked the woman, she told him.
So the king appointed a certain officer for her, saying, “Restore all that was hers, and all the proceeds of the field from the day that she left the land until now.”
Christ is in everything in our life.
When you hear crisis, know that Christ IS in our midst
It happened NOW was the accepted time. The Kairos moment
All the proceeds of the field – restoration of what she lost and much more!
2 Kings 8:6
And when the king asked the woman, she told him.
So the king appointed a certain officer for her, saying, “Restore all that was hers, and all the proceeds of the field from the day that she left the land until now.”
God always restore much more.
Open your eyes to see what God is doing for you today.
He has not forgotten how to bring meat for you to eat every single evening.
He has not forgotten to be compassion to you.
Not only will He provide for you
5 offerings

- Trespass offering
“if he has sinned and has realized his guilt and will restore what he took by robbery or what he got by oppression or the deposit that was committed to him or the lost thing that he found or anything about which he has sworn falsely, he shall restore it in full and shall add a fifth to it, and give it to him to whom it belongs on the day he realizes his guilt. And he shall bring to the priest as his compensation to the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flock, or its equivalent, for a guilt offering.”
Leviticus 6:4-6 ESV
A ram without blemish -> Jesus
God make Him who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God
I take the place of perfect man
Jesus became liable for my sin
Psalms 69:4
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head:
they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty:
then I restored that which I took not away.
Jesus quoted this verse in the upper room
God restore and repair and is always better in quality or quantity
Call those things that are not as though they are
Romans 5:9
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
Romans 5:8-10
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
The bible calls it a blessed hope!
We experience the beginning of the tribulation, which is the birth pangs
Jesus comes back after tribulation with His saints (that is us)
He makes us know we are loved.
His life saves us bodily.
God calls those things that are not yet as though they are in existence before they come
Call it forth.
We have the kingdom of God already here.
Wherever we go we will see angels around us. Talk to Jesus and not them.
You see provision in the midst of lack
5 loaves and 2 SMALL fish
Jesus lifted up and thank God for the little.
Thank God for all the health we have and it will multiply
The Lord will not ask what we don’t have.
To Moses who was shepherding, God spoke to him and he was stumbling. God asked what is it he has in his hands.
God never ask for what he don’t have.
What do you have in your house?
Small flask of oil.
She was asked to find empty vessels and started pouring. And there was left over.
The oil stopped because they limited the supply.
He never ask you for what you don’t have. We despise the small things
The ways of God is not the ways of men
In God’s way. Don’t expect the manner of men.
When you said i am “lucky” that is the worst thing you can say.
Much more those who receive abundance of grace and gift of righteousness will reign in life.
Reign in life means IN life not under!
Those who receive abundance of grace and gift of righteousness will reign in life.
